Can someone suggest me how should I start to learn blende geo nodes. I’ve been using blender for almost half a year. Now I’ve decided to learn blender geo nodes. But I don’t know how to get started. I’d be very thankful to know how I should start and what things should I do to learn them more effectively.

Hi Hadik,
Welcome to B.A
These You tube tutorials may help you.

Erindale.
Obviously here too, for more specific questions.
Hope that helps.

I don’t know if this is still useful but since this is a recurring topic !
So in addition to what as already been said, my suggestions for someone who wants to learn geometry node is to do the most basic stuff first :
Very simple and boring tasks like how to randomize points of a mesh, how to use raycast, what are field.
Most of the tutorials are already advanced techniques, or an accumulation of small operation.
It’s possible to follow along, but hard to understand everything, and that can leave you quite confused.
When learning GN you can think about how to learn a new language, you’d probably want to spend a lot of time learning the alphabet which is very boring and kind of pointless, compared to learn some sentences that you don’t fully understand ( most tutorials) which can look more fancy and useful.
While this boring phase can look very pointless and un-interesting , that’s really how you learn the basics and after a while ( 1/4 mounts) jumping into complex subjects will feel quite simple.
Instead of learning separately (A,B,C…) you can easily start to combine them to form words and sentences.
On top of that, you’ll probably have to learn a bit of math : it’s not a lot, but you’ll spend a bunch of time doing addition, multiplication, basic of vector maths ( cross and dot product) and a few maths function (modulo , power…) which are very useful tools.
But it’s already possible to do very fun stuff with basic tools, GN are very versatile !

Yeah, focus on the basics for a while, like @sozap said.
Simple things like scattering, understanding attributes, randomizing points will teach you a lot. Stay away from things like simulation and horribly convoluted setups for a while. They’ll just confuse you.
(still confuses me as a matter of fact)
And for the math, try the Linear Algebra and/or Multivariable Calculus courses on Khan Academy—they’re essentially “math for nodes” and after just a few videos I’m understanding things a lot better
